    Why 53 per cent of America’s white females voted for Donald Trump, even if they were offended by him

    http://news.nationalpost.com/news/world/why-53-per-cent-of-americas-white-females-voted-for-donald-trump-even-if-they-were-offended-by-him

    yup just white males voted him...

    and i will not take the approach by calling people uneducated, I'll leave that for the elitists....

    I agree that there's more to it than white males if you look at the data. Whites in general voted for him at higher rates.

    Let's also try to recognize the facts on both sides though. It seems not everyone wants to acknowledge holes in their side which makes this whole discussion a bunch of trash talk.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    And what do you consider uneducated...are you an elitist?
    Yes, but that shouldn't matter....

    How many times did you see people saying what they like about him is that "He just says what's on his mind", even if what he was saying is completely cray?

    Some people just aren't that smart. That can come from a lack of education by choice or circumstance.

  • This idea that all millennials are stupid is just another thing that the right created, labeled and branded to divide and conquer and a lot of you bought into it. Very sad.

    The problem (real or not) would not be discussed if government enforced the laws on the books. It wasn't Trump or the conservative media that created this, but politicians who would not enforce laws for the sake of votes. Sure, they got more votes but at the expense of fracturing and dividing the country.

    On that subject I found this article interesting on how we got here.

    He is right.

    There is no reason we shouldn't have had an infrastructure bill. Both sides would like it, but because Reps don't want Obama to have a win they won't pass one. Compromise is getting rarer and rarer. But that didn't just happen overnight so it would be interesting to see what all created the path we are on.

    If Hillary would have won would there be articles about uneducated blacks or Hispanics that voted in much higher percentages for her over Trump? Or is it because they voted for Hillary they voted right in yours and the liberal media's opinion? Is it just uneducated whites that can't make the right decision?

    It is another one of those ironies where the liberal media puts down uneducated whites but I don't remember any statistics put out by conservatives regarding uneducated black or Hispanic voters. Another liberal construct intended to divide people.

    Ironically, he could end up being the president most influenced by lobbyists. Without any legitimate ideas of his own it's like a blank check for these guys. Ladies and gentlemen this is the straight talking, anti-establishment guy you voted for.

    Well than why do we only hear about uneducated whites and assume their lack of education causes them to vote "wrong", but people of other ethnicities who fall under the same uneducated definition somehow overcame their lack of college degree to make the "right" decision. Talk about elitism.

    education is the constant pursuit of knowledge. if you make little to no effort to seek knowledge, than you are uneducated.

    Why are you trying to beat those countries and what exactly are you trying to beat them at? Show me the greatest countries in the history of the world and I'll show you how they lost it. What makes this country great is the freedom we have and someone was just elected who wants to disturb the freedom od a lot od groups of people. If you can't acknowledge that then there is probably no hope for you.

    I don't believe that. I do believe that she was a bad candidate, but I think she would have been a good president.

    President-elect Trump wishes his protesters could be as tolerant as him. The media is spinning like a top right now.
    http://www.cnn.com/2016/11/10/politics/kellyanne-conway-protesters-donald-trump-2016-election/index.html
    Just had a very open and successful presidential election. Now professional protesters, incited by the media, are protesting. Very unfair!

    They were bused in to Austin
    wait now the election was open? for months Trump told us it was rigged. was he lying or just feeding the sheep to follow him?
    I thought he stated the primaries were rigged? If he claimed the election was rigged before it election day than he can see into the future or is unfit to be president.
    huh? he said the system was rigged for month and months. come on now. and he IS unfit to be President but our democracy gives everyone a chance to vote their choice and 60 million people decided to ignore that and elect him anyway. despite what those (in my opinion idiot) protesters say he is our president-elect. let's hope he governs better than he ran his casinos.
    Okay...well saying the system is rigged is very different than saying the election was rigged.
    Man talk about deflection ok so all the shit he kept on spewing is to be forgotten to be taken as " You know he didn't mean that or he didn't mean this " he was prepping you in case he lost the election he would of def encouraged for his base to take it to the streets !
    You're late, partys over!

    What about it? Is there more to the clip? Hard to comment without hearing the full conversation. What she did say on guns could be reasonably construed to follow the intent of the second amendment so not out of bounds. Don't think the guns will matter that much though if fighting the government.

    I like how the "uneducated" references keep coming in this forum and someone said something that is so true on facebook

    "next time you go get your car fixed, you need a plumber, your house built, or some other white collar job that many dont have an education to do then i recommend you find somebody else to do that work for you or you do it yourself"

    when i read that i wanted to stand and applause because a college degree doesn't make you better than a trade guy who probably can do more than i can and im college educated

    Talk about a misinterpretation. If a plumber, mechanic, etc. decide that that's all they are gonna focus their thoughts on and not try to pursue any other knowledge, then yeah they are deciding to be uneducated, and unfortunately that's a lot of Americans.

    How is that polled for then? This is hilarious. Do you even read what you are saying? Do you think you are that much better than everyone else because you are so enlightened and vote a certain way? The smartest people in the world created a bomb and dropped it on two cities in Japan. Get off your high horse.

    I never referenced myself at all. I'm merely saying that just because someone learns a trade doesn't mean they are educated. It means they learned a specific trade, but by all means go fly off the handle.
